Considerations about the concept of “terroir”: definition and research direction

Abstract

On exposera la distinction et la relation entre: “Etude des milieux”, “Zonage Petit ou Zonage Technique ou Sub Zonage”, “Grand Zonage”, “Délimitation des zones productives” ex. vitivinicoles, entre “Terroir”, “Territoire”, “Terra – Nature”, “Univers” d’après la “Grande Filiera” (“Grande Filière”), entre “Qualité organoleptique classique” (technique), “Qualité perçue par le Consommateur ou Préférence” et les autres “qualités” (environ 90) , entre “Pyramides de la Qualité classique”, “Pyramide du Consommateur”, Pyramide de la “Quantité – Préférence”, etc. 
Il est mis en évidence que les “zonages” (“Grands Zonages” selon le “Grande Filiera”) doivent descendre et s’harmoniser avec les objectifs (“Grands Objectifs”selon la “Grande Filiere”) de l’activité [maximum (meilleur) profit économique socio environnemental existentiel éthique meta éthique selon la “Grande Filiere”] et non pas avec les moyens utilisés pour atteindre ces objectifs (ex. “terroir”, “qualité organoleptique classique”, “paysage”, “tourisme”, les techniques de culture, etc., etc.). On souligne par ailleurs l’importance fondamentale qu’assume de plus en plus la “Qualité Economique”, la “Qualité Socio-Environnementale”, la “Qualité Existentielle”, la “Qualité Ethique” selon le “Grande Filiera”, l’ approfondissement de façon adéquate et la définition de manière universelle de la terminologie et, à la fin, le lien de la technique, de la recherche aux objectifs et non pas aux moyens.

The role of œnology in the enhancement of terroir expression

The reality of terroir is reflected by the typicality that it confers on the wine. The relationship between the origin of wine and its quality did already exist before the appearance of œnological science. Producers and merchants have always tried to improve wine quality in order to satisfy their clients.

SENSORY PROFILES AND EUROPEAN CONSUMER PREFERENCE RELATED TOAROMA AND PHENOLIC COMPOSITION OF WINES MADE FROM FUNGUSRESISTANT GRAPE VARIETIES (PIWI)

Planting grape varieties with several resistance loci towards powdery and downy mildew reduces the use of fungicides significantly. These fungus resistant or PIWI varieties (acronym of German Pilzwiderstandsfähig) contribute significantly to the 50% pesticide reduction goal, set by the European Green Deal for 2030. However, wine growers hesitate to plant PIWIs as they lack experience in vinification and are uncertain, how consumer accept and buy wines from these yet mostly unknown varieties. Grapes from four white and three red PIWI varieties were vinified in three vintages to obtain four diffe-rent white and red wine styles, respectively plus one rosé.

Yeast mannoprotein characterization and their effect on Oenococcus oeni and malolactic fermentation

Mannoproteins are released at the end of alcoholic fermentation due to yeast autolysis [1]. It has been described a positive effect of these molecules on lactic acid bacteria growth [2]. The main objective of this work was the characterization of different mannoproteins extracted from active dry yeast (ADY) and the assessment of their effect on Oenococcus oeni and malolactic fermentation (MLF).
